J. S. DUCKER GARMENT June 27, 1933.

Filed June 24 1832 ATTORNEY Patented June 27, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE JOSEPH S. DUGKER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.,

ASSIGNOR TO TESSER MANUFACTURING CORPORATION, OF NEVIYOIRK, N. Y, A CORIPORATION OF NEW YORK GARMENT Application filed June 24,

This invention relates to an improvement in garment, and more particularly to an outer wearing apparel.

Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are: to provide a combination coat and vest of a single construction; to enable the wearer to easily slip the coat and vest on without any inconvenience; to enable the wearer to remove the vest from the coat conveniently; to provide means whereby the vest can be attached to the coat in minimum time; to secure simplicity of construction, minimum of cost to manufacture; also to give a neat appearance to the finished article; and to obtain other advantages and results as may be brought out in the following description.

Drawing and Figure 3 is a similar view showing the members removably attached.

Description As seen in the drawing, the reference numeral 10 indicates a garment which in the present-showing is preferably a coat of the Windbreaker type and which maybe used by children and older persons as desired. In construction the material employed may be of leather, cowhide, cloth, or the like. As shown, the garment 10 has the usual lining 11 which may be of suede or other material depending on the grade ofthe article.

In carrying out the invention and referring more particularly to Figures 1 and 2, I have shown the garment 10 and a vest 12 of one piece construction, to give the general appearance of the vest as being of the same material as the coat. A feature of the present invention is that the coat may be left unbuttoned and when in that condition the sections of the vest 12 can be kept buttoned 1932. Serial No. 619,007.

and no detection as to the vest and coat not being separate articles will be noted except on close examination.

Referring to Figure 2, it is to be noted that each section of the vest 12, is sewn at a longitudinal edge to the inside of the breast portion of the coat 10, as to the lining 11 by stitches 13, which will securely hold the pleces together. It will be seen that the edge of the lining 11 overlaps that portion of the vest to be sewn and the portion of the coat constltutingthe front or body part is on the other side. The stitches being run through the several plies of the material, thereby obtain a very strong binding together of the members.

However, in the manufacture of this garment, it may be desirable to sell the vest 12 and coat 1O separately, and in this instance and referring now to Figure 3, I have devised a means for removably attaching the vest to the coat. This means may preferably be in the form of the snap fasteners 14 of usual type, and any number of these fasteners may be utilized depending on the size of the garment or to insure sufiicient resistance against pulling the garment apart when in use.

While I have shown the vest 12 utilizing buttons, I do not wish it understood that I am limiting myself to the specific showing, as I may very conveniently use other fastening means such as snap fasteners, hooks and eyes, zippers, or the like.

I claim: I

A garment as characterized comprising in combination a coat having sleeves, a lining and a breast'portion, a vest secured to the inner side of said breast portion, said lining overlapping the portion of the vest secured to the breast portion, and rows of stitches for securing the vest and overlapped lining together at the breast portion, said rows of stitches extending downwardly from the collar of said coat to adjacent the bottom thereof and thereby constituting said coat and vest a one-piece construction.
